It's not just because she's a queen.

But it was really because the Fanghua banquet invited all the nobles in the capital, as well as the young unmarried women and those unmarried young men in the family.

The purpose is also very simple, that is, to find a good fate for the juniors of the right age in the family so that they can get married smoothly.

Rely on family marriages to strengthen your political position.

It's simple, brutal, and straightforward.

However, the number of people who can be invited to the palace by ordinary palace concubines to hold a banquet and the size and specifications of the banquet are all strictly limited by the palace banquet etiquette system.

But the queen is different, as the mother of a country, Fengyi is the world, and it is a matter of national body, she naturally does not need to be restricted by most of the palace banquet etiquette system, but must be grand and decent.

It is because the Fanghua banquets held by Empress Sun over the years are more and more grand every year, and they are also more and more expected by the nobles in Beijing every year.

There is no other reason, just because at that time, Queen Sun was under her knees, and Princess Roufu, who was born in the middle palace, had not yet married, and it was because of these banquets in the middle palace that Queen Sun would also intend to take the princess to handle it together.

And Princess Joufu, although she is young, is a very thoughtful person.

What's even more rare is that on the fashionable banquet in Beijing, the nobles like to play several games between them, and Princess Roufu not only likes to play, but also knows how to play.

This goes on for a long time, so much so that Princess Roufu even often comes up with some new tricks to play.

At the Fanghua banquet of her mother, Princess Roufu naturally would not let go easily, so almost every year of the Fanghua banquet held by Queen Sun during the Mandate of Heaven was very different.

Later, seeing that the princess was very interested in this, Queen Sun simply handed over the subsequent Fanghua banquet to Princess Roufu to organize.

As a result, the successive queens of the Mu family have passed on the whole set of traditions of the Fanghua banquet, which naturally includes the default stereotype that the Fanghua banquet cannot be the same every year.

After that, if the Mu family encountered those situations where the middle palace was sick and could not hold a banquet, the royal princess should personally preside over the banquet.

So it's not just a banquet, it's also a status symbol.

For example, in the Renzong Dynasty, because Renzong's Empress Yuan left early, since the death of Renzong's original queen, it was Princess Hui'an who was born by her to preside over the Fanghua banquet every year.

Later, after Princess Hui'an and Qin Yingqu, except for Concubine Jiang, who held three Fanghua banquets in the palace, all the other Fanghua banquets after that were all organized by Princess Rongchen, who was still Princess Huining at the time.

The Mu Empire is different from the descendants, and the princes and nobles are okay, after all, they don't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha.

But if it is in the mansion of ordinary officials, the distinction between concubines and concubines is also particularly serious.

At the Fanghua banquet, people who are fortunate enough to receive invitations and are invited to the banquet every year will never bring their children to attend.

This is also a stereotype that although the royal family did not say it explicitly, all the ladies in the Gaomen Mansion who participated in the Fanghua banquet acquiesced.

No one has broken it so far.

Zhou knelt in the hall, feeling cold from body to heart, Rong Chen didn't call her up, and the hall was even more silent for a while, and people were furious in their hearts.

In fact, she also knew that when she entered Luoshui today, she probably couldn't get anything good, not to mention that as soon as she said what she wanted, she was afraid that she would have to eat a melon in Luoshui again.

But her mother's side is really urging it.

She has been married to today's saint for many years, and she is still childless and daughterless, she has no favor from the emperor, and she knows the emperor's respect even more well.

Zhou knew very well in her heart that even as an imperial concubine, she had nothing to rely on, except for relying on the faint guilt in the emperor's heart, she had no other way.

Even so, if she still doesn't take her mother's entrustment to heart, then how is she different from an abandoned son in the family?

After Rong Chen's warning, Zhou lowered his body more and more, did not argue a word, and was full of humility.

Their Zhou family has been a Wenchen and a noble family for generations, and her uncle's lineage is now the smoothest branch in the Dayi Dynasty.

followed by her father, the second master of the Zhou family when the family was not separated.

Because she married into the royal family and became the princess, and later became the imperial concubine, they have a lot of say in the clan over the years.

But their heirs are thin, and so far her mother has only given birth to a son for her father, and she is still quite uneducated, and she is still a loser who does not learn or know, and does not eat firewood, rice, oil and salt.

It's just that her mother is old and has a son, and she has always pampered and protected him in every way.

is based on the fact that their family has a total of two main house descendants, and in addition, all of them are daughters of concubines, and there is no concubine in the house except her.

After a long time, Rong Chen stared at the imperial concubine who was still kneeling on the ground and said.

"Zhou, now that you have the right to associate with the Sixth Palace, what should you say, what should you say, what can you say, and if you can't mention anything, you still have to teach you from this palace?"

For a moment, the hall was silent.

Cheng Yi sat at the end, and from the moment Mu Changan entered the palace gate, he intentionally or unintentionally put his eyes and thoughts on this pearl in the palm of the Great Yi Empire.

At this moment, she observed the county lord of Chang'an, who had been watching from the side from beginning to end, and had never said a word, and she was quite a little puzzled in her heart.

Everyone in the Dayi Palace knows that the imperial concubine Niangniang, who is the same as the deputy queen in Yanxi Palace, treats people on weekdays and is not approachable.

Since His Majesty the Emperor took pity on the frail body of the Empress Niangniang of the Middle Palace and decreed that the Imperial Concubine Niangniang would assist in the Six Palaces, the rules in the harem can be called strict, and everyone in the palace knows that the Imperial Concubine Niangniang is the most important rule.

And because although the name is assistant, the middle palace intends to delegate power, so in fact, the imperial concubine Niangniang usually takes care of the affairs of the harem and is actually no different from the six palaces.

Therefore, most of the people in the harem dare not speak out about this, but in the long run, many rules will be established like that.

And although the imperial concubine Niangniang has a straight temperament, she has been fair so far, so there has really been no big mess in the harem so far.

And what is unbelievable is that among the concubines in today's harem, the most face-saving in front of the imperial concubine is not Shen Xiaoyi, who goes to Yanxi Palace every day to ask for peace, nor Jiang Shuyi, who is left and right.

On the contrary, it is Cheng Niangniang, who is the most withdrawn in the Huaqing Palace and dislikes to associate with people the most.

It is the imperial concubine of Yanxi Palace and Cheng Jieyu of Huaqing Palace, and the friendship between these two mothers is also a well-known thing in the harem.

Therefore, at this time, Concubine Shu and Concubine Ning had a very tacit understanding, intentionally or unintentionally, and also divided their eyes on Cheng Niangniang.

After all, at this time, it is most appropriate for her to open her mouth after being friends with the imperial concubine, and they don't want to wade into this troubled water in vain.

However, to their great disappointment, Cheng Niangniang's mind didn't seem to be in this hall at all, and she didn't have the slightest intention to open her mouth to break the embarrassing and tense situation in the hall at this time.

The situation suddenly became a stalemate.

And the imperial concubine in the center of the whirlpool didn't seem to have any other tricks, just blindly buried her head and knelt on the ground, without saying a word.

However, what no one knew was that almost as soon as Rong Chen's words fell, the eyes of the Great Yi Emperor Concubine who was still kneeling on the ground were almost full of ridicule in an instant.

It's just that because she was kneeling in the temple, no one found out.

Position of the same vice-queen?

How ironic! She is Zhou Xi's concubine, but when His Majesty the Emperor was still a prince, she justifiably used an eight-lift sedan chair to marry into the prince's mansion, and the prince and concubine who passed the plate!

She and Her Majesty have already worshiped heaven and earth seriously!

It's just that overnight, the wife became a concubine, and her Zhou Xiwen became a joke in the entire Dayi Empire.

She was so humiliated that she had nothing to do with the person in the seat in front of her.

"The eldest princess forgives her sins, although the concubine is blunt, she also knows that such a reluctant request is really unreasonable, but please give some time to allow the concubine to explain the reason before making a decision."

The words are conclusive, and it is rare to be so confident in front of Rong Chen.

Seeing her appearance at this time, Rong Chen squinted his eyes in vain, "Bengong listens." ”

Zhou's face showed a little bit of a look of wanting to speak for a moment, and Rong Chen saw that she didn't have any intention of continuing to deal with her, so he said directly to the rest of the concubines in the hall.

"Your intention is also clear to the palace, so let's go back to each other, and you don't have to take the rest of the things to the palace to ask, these things will go directly to Kunning Palace to find the queen to give you ideas in the future."

The queen of Kunning Palace was recommended into the palace by Princess Rongchen when Ruihe was a year, and the emperor personally went to the Zuo Xiangfu as the queen of the middle palace to marry the daughter of the prime minister's mansion back to the palace, envying the women of the world.

Since Empress Xu entered the palace, the emperor gave the word "Wending" as a title.

Throughout the ages, it has been extremely common for emperors to give titles to favored concubines, but when it comes to giving titles to queens, it is very rare.

After all, the word queen is already a noble and unparalleled existence, and if you add a honorific title, it can really be regarded as a peerless honor.

However, it is a pity that after the unparalleled Empress Xu entered the palace, although she was favored by the emperor, her body and bones were not very good since she was a child.

It is precisely because of her body that she has already reached the age of marriage but has not married anyone else.

Naturally, in the final analysis, this is nothing more than Zuo Xiang's fatherly heart.

"The queen's body is getting better day by day, and these things don't tire her." Rong Chen's words are extremely clear, but there is no one here who can't understand the meaning of the words.

So as Rong Chen's words fell word by word, Zhou's complexion became more and more unnatural, and even faintly pale.

Zhou's makeup powder and lipstick on her face today are not very thick, and from the direction of Mu Changan, she can see all the expressions on her face very clearly.

However, her depressed inner emotions at the moment have no way to affect the others present.

"Yes!"

Hearing Rong Chen's such straightforward send-off words, several concubines were also very smart and immediately got up and prepared to salute and retreat.

For a while, Zhou only heard a whole hall thinking of all kinds of gentle and soft voices, all of which responded in unison, saying the words of retirement.
